I hven't been able to access web pages all morning. Can you tell me when I
am going to be back on line?

You haven't got a proxy set have you David? If you have, maybe the proxy is
down?

Out of interest ... can you get here? http://198.64.152.161 ?

If yes try using an alternate DNS server until your ISP gets there's up.

Na, the link went down. Obviously that message was meant to go to my ISP.

I pressed the wrong button (duh)

Message rules are your friend
Blocked senders are also a useful tool
My experience is that most spam has definable words in the 'subject'. Even
outlook express will filter them.

Well he is my service provider, maybe this is an incentive to install spam
blockers at server level!! *L*

what definable words? The issue about spam lately is that they
deliberately use headers that do NOT identify what is in the message ..
because they are half witted complete idiots they seem to think that
changing the header is going to entice us to download & read their spam ..

WRONG :o)

Yay for mailwasher.....

[Snaps!]

I havent got a definative list, mind you but I looked at all the spam and
figured that they all had similar words in them that few people who write to
me ever use. 'you' or 'your' or 'prescription' or 'warranty' or 'service'
or 'have' or 'know' or 'fresh' or 'never' or 'please' or 'private'
I just put them in my mail rules and watched what happened. So far (4 days)
I've had 38 messages in the deleted items folder and not one of them is
legitimate. I just wish I could do it at the server and save the bandwidth.

I remember back to the days when a wan*er posted my email address on here on
purpose in the subject header (my domain email address so I can't just
change isp and all is good) and since then I have received ever increasing
quantities of spam. Approx 300 a day and rising!!!

Cameron,
look at my return address. It's works. It became apparent to me that any
address with NOSPAM or no.spam in it would be ignored or discarded by the
harvesting programs. If you use your own domain and have all mail forwarded
to an ISP address... Well figure it out. I use mydomain .com to delegate all
my domains. I can black hole the obvious spam and divert others. There are
quite a few people here who use a real address. Surely they must have some
similar spam management in place? What say you Brendan?

I use Matador which is very good but my big problem is checking email while
on a job or similar with my iPaq. Impossible!
With a 9600 dialup on my mobile downloading a few hundred spam headers to
find the 5 or so true emails is ridiculous.
Maybe Bigpond might start server based spam filtering soon... I hope...

Mailwasher does exactly this - checks the header info of your emails waiting on
the server for you & then deletes from the server or starts your mail client to
download them for you, after filtering the headers through your filters.

It can also bounce any spam messages as well, if appropriate.
